The Westgate Bridge.

In 1970 when the Westgate bridge was being built it had a section which collapsed and I remember as a child my Dad always saying this is the part which collapsed. So now I close my eyes and freak out when ever I go over any bridge, mostly those which span water. I still am yet to drive over one myself.
